the tree has been trimmed -- our first *married* tree and our first *real* tree! it's a 5-foot noble fir -- very spacious between branches with a yummy smell. it's decked out with our homebase lights and bulbs, plus a few home-grown additions: a lonestar cookie-cutter, a newlywed ornament (from momma scott) and a black, stetson cowboy hat topper. we love it.
stockings are hung on the fake marble mantle with care.
maltesers and mars advent calendars are up to date.
christmas presents are all bought and wrapped. stocking stuffers are hidden in closet, waiting to be stuffed on christmas eve night.
christmas cards are addressed, stamped and ready to go out via *air mail* ... ok, ok, they are more like new year's cards.
the kitchen is stocked with yummy cheese, bread and, most importantly, champagne and wine.
bathroom and towels are clean.
what's the special occasion???
my mom and sister arrive today for the holidays. this is their first international flight across the pond. i am so excited to be the uber-tourist guide for the week. we're doing it all!
trafalgar square, christmas carols at st. martin's, harrod's, hyde park, big ben, the tube, london eye, museums ... and, of course, the creperie in south kensington.
weeeeeeeee ... can't wait!
merry christmas ... happy christmas ... feliz navidad!
